IBS
Digestive distress from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) causes abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel habits. IBS can result from food intolerances, changes in gut microbiota, nervous system abnormalities, early life stress, severe infection, or muscle contractions in the intestine. Managing these symptoms with IBS treatment can significantly improve your digestive health and quality of life.
